Zelenskiy: Russia won in Georgia, 'on its way' to doing same in Moldova

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the West should admit Russia has "won" in Georgia and is on its way to doing the same in Moldova unless Western rhetoric against crossing Moscow's red lines was dropped.

"We have to recognise in Georgia for today Russia won. First, they took part of Georgia, then they changed policy, the government. And now (Georgia) has a pro-Russian government," he said in English in a video released on Wednesday.

He added that Russia was "on the way" to doing the same in Moldova. "And they will do, if of course the West will not stop dialogue (against) crossing of red lines," Zelenskiy said.
